3.7 Read the Analog Output • The output is logarithmic, 0.50 Vdc/decade, where 1000 Torr = 7 Vdc, as
illustrated in Figure 3-6.
• Output impedance is 100 Ω.
An output signal of 10 Vdc occurs any time the gauge is intentionally turned
OFF or when an error condition occurs.
Use the following equation to convert output voltage to pressure in Torr:
Use the following equation to calculate output voltage from pressure:
To convert Torr to mbar, multiply P
Torr
by 1.333.
To convert Torr to pascal, multiply P
Torr
by 133.3.
